Google is know for producing game-changing stuff. I mean, how many of us use GMail, Google Reader, AdSense, or just the search engine itself? Today I looked at an App that Google is curently working on in the "Google Labs". It's called Google Squared. I think I'll leave it to Google to explain what it is:
Google Squared is an experimental tool that takes a category (like US presidents, roller coasters, or digital cameras) and attempts to create a starter "square" of information, automatically fetching and organizing facts from across the web. You can modify your square by removing rows and columns you don't like--or by adding new rows and columns and having Google Squared attempt to fetch the relevant facts. Verify and correct the facts in your square by exploring the original sources and investigating other possible values. If you're happy with your square you can save it and come back to it later. Google Squared does the grunt work for you, making research fast and easy.
The possiblities are endless. I think what makes this app awesome is the customization of the squares. You can actually add your own item for Squared to search, and if there is that information, Then it will display it. It really is something you must try for yourself. Go to http://tinyurl.com/o89xy2 to try it out. Have fun and let me know what you think about it.
